Thank you. I've gotten clarification from his mom. The growth is in his sinus cavities. He's been having trouble for 2 years, but it was thought to be an allergy. (And she's thought he was goofing off on taking his allergy medicine and is KICKING herself over this misunderstanding.) At this point he's having a lot of trouble breathing.

Thank you for your support, it's comforting/helping him, his baby sister, mom, and step-dad during a frightening time.

Apparently they attempted surgery today on an outpatient basis. Took a biopsy which is being tested, but it was too extensive/bleeding uncontrolled to complete the surgery today. They're in the process of rescheduling until after his high school graduation (mid-June?) and will perform the surgery in a hospital.

Thank you for your prayers and concern.

One of my riding buddies died last week (not in a riding accident) and his family and friends are sorely hurting from the loss of a really genuine, good person. Prayers going out to them....

So sorry for your loss, Cathy. Prayers coming.

Love to everyone and please know you are all still in my prayers. Could I please ask you to pray for the victims of the Sichuan earthquake... there are so many homeless and injured people who desperately need all the good thoughts we can send them Thanks everyone!

Please keep my SIL Pauline in your prayers. You may recall that she underwent a liver & kidney transplant last fall. She's had a setback & has already been hospitalized for 3 weeks for an infection. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors, as they just diagnosed lymphoma on the new kidney, too. She'll be undergoing chemo, which has both her transplant team & oncologists pretty nervous about the chemo causing organ rejection issues. A team of specialists & research doctors are all putting their heads together on this one. Her spirits are good, but my brother is pretty shook up. Thank you.
